images and text

Hi There

Does anyone have an example of how to overlay text onto an image (.gif) and
then save the file?

Any good class files or source out there?

Many Thanks
Oz.

Graphics issues are not topical in the news:comp.lang. c++ newsgroup
since there is support for them in the _standard_ C++ specification.
Try asking in a graphics or general programming newsgroup.
See the FAQ and welcome.txt below.

<Off-Topic>
In order to overlay text onto an image, the text must be converted
into an image. Once the text is converted into an image or bitmap,
it can be merged onto the image using any number of transformations
(such as OR, XOR, AND).

Converting text into an image or bitmap requires a font. Some fonts
have bitmaps for each character. Other fonts represent the font as
a collection of vectors and fill commands. These fonts require a
processor / function to convert to a bitmap.

Search for the web for "text bitmap conversion scalable".

If I put three images next to each other (each within an anchor tag) they all line up horizontally as expected with no space between them. I.e., they're sitting flush up against each other. However, in my design I need them to be laid out like this: XXXXXXXXooooooooo XXXXXXXXooooooooo XXXXXXXXooooooooo XXXXXXXXLLLLLLLLL

The script works fine in firefox and netscape (haven't tried...

I want to flow text in an "irregular" column on the left and place a large image at the top of an "irregular" column to the right.

I am seeking to hand-roll my own blog in ASP.NET 2.0 and SQLExpress 2005. Why? Because I can. Because I will gain experience. The one thing that has me stumped at square one is inline images. That is, images inline with the actual content of the blog itself. Is there an example that I can be pointed to, where I can examine some code and figure out how to do this? Frankly I haven't got a clue, aside from breaking the content up into...
